One more person down in my pursuit to pay off peeps. Jessica P, someone I owed money for the hotel room and/or present from the wedding, has been downgraded to paid off. Even though I am unsure if the gift was ever given to the lovely couple (shoutout to Dan and Colleen - name your kid Chris, solid name), it has been paid off. And no, I did not give the card to them. When you don't take the card from me on time, I tend to lose it, as I did with their card.
-Still studying for the Foreign Service Test. I'm learning things I am pretty sure I've learned about fifteen times, such as the Continental Congress, Monroe Doctrine, and the Missouri Compromise. I got my technology/economics czar (Vas) and communications czar (Sarah) whenever I run into troubles. Still need czars for management and/or world geography. Holler if you can help.
-There's a solid chance I'm going to be temping somewhere for some money. That's right crackas, I will be the new Ryan and rise to an executive position.
-Redskins blow, no one can compare them to the Steelers (whose loss forced me to wash my jersey for the first time since November 10, 2008-that's what happens when you cheer for a Super Bowl champion). Skippy Reed sucks a lot today, but he'll come through later on.
-My Nubbinals (minus Tony Plush Morgan) are closing in on 100 losses. I plan on being there either Wednesday or Thursday for that plateau. If they go on a winning streak and lose number 100 on the road, I will be bitter.
-Delonte West is also known as Mad Max. The real question is where was he going to? And how can I get an invite to the shootout? Solid story, look it up.
-No money options coming in right now, the Florida Gators blew my three team parlay. That's a rally-killer. Maybe if I had been at the sports bar where I was watching that disaster one day later, Obamaizzel could have given me a job, hooked me up as I should say. J. Paul's Saloon is known for oysters, but not a fan of oysters right here.
However, I have been doing Habitat for Humanity around my county recently. They always need donations and since I know that the people who read this blog have some money, donate some funds for the good times. I know Rory will. Word to community service.
A goddamn owl has been outside my window the past couple nights, hooting away like no one gives a damn. Well, I DO, YOU FUCKING OWL. I CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE OF YOU. STOP HOOTING, I HEAR YOU, AND YOU WILL END YOUR LIFE SOON ENOUGH. YOU FUCK. As Brous points out, though, this may be the end of my life (www.thefourthkind.net). I will soon be abducted by aliens.
Two more things:
1) No one will ever seriously consider going to the Renaissance Faire. The ideology behind that is completely different than the Demolition Derby, and no one in their right mind would do it. I will be sufficiently silenced if someone with a shred of credibility disagrees with me, but at this point, I am steadfast in my anti-Renaissance Faire homoness.
2) Seriously, if another Tyler Perry movie goes to number one in the box office, I will give up movie theaters for the rest of my life.

Half.com Request
Quick word of advice from a Half.com question that just dropped in my inbox:
Comment/ Question: Hi, I'm considering dropping the class I bought this
book for. What is your return policy?
Thanks so much!
If you buy a book on Half.com, do not ever ask for a refund because you're "considering dropping the class." I'm not going to worry about getting back an old book that sold for $5 and relisting it. Just sell the damn book on your own time.

End of the Money Pit
Last day of lifeguarding (hopefully forever) was today. Should have been yesterday, but a girl got sick so I had the great pleasure of cleaning down the pool in a downpour. Also, while I was hung over from the solid batch of beer pong played last night at the Noonan household - shoutout to the five week old baby (nickname: Party Birth Control) who watched me dominate: you'll learn kid.
The Secret book of crap has officially been downgraded to lower than Tyler Perry on my list right now. It says that when you're going out to get the mail, think that there won't be a bill there and the Universe will give you a check. Yes, that makes sense in a retarded kind of way. So I go to my email account, thinking there will not be a bill there, and I will get money sent to me by some Nigerian prince lord or I will have a job offer there. Or not. How about getting three rejections? How's that Secretioners?
I read another book at work, some book that Obama had read on his vacation so I figured it'd be ok. The book was called Plainsong, which is top five worst title of all time, and left me thinking two things. Number 1: Since when do people not use quotation marks in dialogues in books? This is the second book (I had to read a book for school) that was just like this -
Number 2: If someone can publish a book that is literally about nothing and win an award for it, my book will be out February 28, 2010. It will be called Living and it will be about living. What a title, what a book.
Possibly going to NY this weekend to see the peeps, and it might put a damper on the bank account (could lead to another person added to the debt list), but I think the trip will be worth it in the end. Unless of course Pope finds me.
And thank you Lights Out Steroids, for doing whatever you did to Tila Tequila. While she may be Vas's favorite, everyone else hates her.
Fuck you Tyler Perry and Fuck you The Secret.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE QUOTATION MARKS? Common English people. (Great usage of centering up there. This blog is gonna take off.)Number 2: If someone can publish a book that is literally about nothing and win an award for it, my book will be out February 28, 2010.

Fantasy
I do believe that we can consider my team in the YIPKP league the clear-cut favorite after the coup I pulled on Vikas. Everyone think real hard and try to find a way I lose. Really hard.
I also have a team with the kids a year above us - wonder if Pope will find out and lose his mind?
I am doing Kyle's work fantasy league, he unfortunately nixed my amazing team name so I'm going to change my YIPKP name to that fantasticness.
And that's all I've got on fantasy: All Day and Burner for life.
Fuck you Tyler Perry.

Cab Driver
Apologies for the delay between posts, but I've been busy. Some new developments, ranging in necessariness to unnecessary latitude.
1) I was paid for a legit two weeks of work at the pool. That money immediately went to Ben Levine with a little bit left over for what I had hoped would be the entry fees to the fantasy league for myself, Alex Mundel, and Paster. Unfortunately, the Arlington Adventure happened.
2) For some reason, I bought a round of shots and a red bull vodka at the bar, somehow my tab came out to $35, and Burr was convinced that I was ripped off. However, I do know that that is false, I did pay at an overpriced Arlington bar. Arlington = overrated, bigger fan of Bethesda, but Bitchmade Burr refuses to come up here for the far better atmosphere.
3) Speaking of Bethesda, I won a "VIP Party" at Black Finn, whatever the hell that means. I get free appetizers and drink specials for me and my homies from 9-11 on Thursday, September 17. Hopefully some good football on, cuz I'm gonna be chillin.
4) More debts were to be paid off with my next paycheck (coming in a week from today), but lo and behold, I hit a goddamn cab last night. No damage, the guy was more bitter that I spilled his coffee, but if the cab company finds anything, guess who gets to pay? Moi. Dammit, just not good karma. I guess repayments will be held off for a slight bit longer time.
5) Speaking of karma, been reading lots of books, found one called The Secret. Seriously, it is the biggest piece of trash/crap/spiritual brouhaha I've ever read, but it actually kind of makes a little bit of sense. I almost vomited when I was reading it, because I can't believe people actually wax philosophic about this, but whatever floats their boat. <--massive positivity
6) I have almost paid off my library fines - just under $2.00 left on that bill. I added another $2 because I forgot about the movies I had due back on the Arlington Adventure day.
7) Nothing on jobs, but I was rejected by an actual letter this time. Still working on my connections...
8) Edy's Maxxx ice cream is 2x better than Ben and Jerry's and $3.00 cheaper. Just a joke what kind of deals I find at 7-11s when I'm living in the red.
